Cube vs. Equifax Credit Risk

1) The budget process. In QBO the budgeting capability is non-existant, unless you like manually typing in every scenario and not being able to budget by class. Cube houses my budget/forecast scenarios & lets me view and analyze by my company's preferred data points; department, GL account, vendor, & sales campaign. I'm able to run monthly budget variance reports and plan for the future with ease. 2) We've begun using Cube to help analyze profitablity by sales job. We've never had such easy access to this type of info in the past, so this is a benefit I can directly attribute to Cube. 3) We're beginning now to use an integration with our payroll software to work on headcount planning and payroll analysis.

Equifax Credit Risk is great for getting consumer credit reports online, pre-filled business reports online, and sometimes searching for corporate reports online. Equifax Credit Risk is not suitable for cases where the customer provides the credit application requesting to update banking and business reference information.

• Limited to 8 top line dimensions. Although you can bring in as many attributes of data as you want, but I would really like Cube to increase top line dimensions to 10.
• The ability for cross level interaction within multiples cube would be a major plus once implemented.

• Searching for credit and banking references in specific cases is a difficult process
• Communication channels for giving feedback are not easy to use
• After filing our complaint, at some point we did not receive a timely and adequate response.

Cube was just a lot easier to use than Vena. We took some time to look at Vena as well and while their product was impressive, our organization was not yet there. We needed something we could implement quickly, and in today's day and age I think that is a very important quality to have. Start up and early stage companies do not have the luxury of implementation teams and massive IT resources so Cube was a huge help.

Equifax Credit Risk has a quick platform that is constantly evolving with the objective of benefiting the direct client, reducing response time to the end client. I like that its platform is easy to use and very intuitive. It is very secure because it uses different confirmation methods to log in with your users each time they need to log in.
